The Pelicans and the Cavaliers game ended with heated discussions.

Tang Tian’s 60+ triple-double made fans talk about it, while James’ bold statement to give up the magnesium powder made fans look forward to this year’s playoffs.

Just as there was a lot of heated discussion, the time came March 1, and the 2017 NBA buyout deadline was approaching.

There are many potential buyout targets this year that are very valuable, and this year's buyout market has attracted much attention.

The Knicks didn't get the big fish in the summer, so they exchanged the change for Rose from the Bulls, but Rose and Anthony's playing style are incompatible, and their own condition is also a problem.

After Rose was traded to the Wizards, he was basically dealt with by the Knicks as an expiration contract.

He is not within the Wizards' plan, and it has been rumored that Ross will be bought out by the Wizards.

The Heat failed to retain Whiteside in the summer and failed to find a suitable replacement player in the free market, and their overall strength declined severely.

This season has basically bid farewell to the playoffs, and there are rumors that Wade is considering buying out with the team and going to a team with the ability to compete for the championship.

Superstars like Rose and Wade who are at the beginning of the century are no longer in status due to injuries, age and other problems, and their contracts for the rest of the last year are relatively large.

If the team reaches a buyout with them, some of the expenses can be reduced (the amount of the buyout will generally be smaller than the contract amount), and it can also give the buyout players the opportunity to go to a playoff team to continue playing for the rest of the season.

In addition to Ross Wade, there are other players who still have the ability to fight.

The Timberwolves are expected to buy out 2013's No. 14 Show Shabaz Mohammed;

The Jazz are expected to buy out veteran Boris Dior, who has gradually fallen out of rotation;

The Lakers are expected to buy out veteran Deron Williams, who is not in the plan;

The Grizzlies are expected to buy out rookie Troy Williams.

...

These players, especially Wade and Ross, were afraid to avoid them before they were bought out, but after they paid the bill, they became popular.

You should know that before buying out, they are representatives of high salary and low ability, but after buying out, they usually sign extremely low prices, or even basic salary contracts, and the cost-effectiveness will be released.

The Rockets are the most active team in the buyout market.

Morey saw the potential market as early as the trading deadline and freed up the spots early. Now there are still 2 places on the 13-person list.

There are many veterans among these buyout players, and winning the championship team is definitely the first choice for them.

The Rockets are precisely such a team, with strength and quotas. As long as they win Wade and Ross, even if they are just one of them, their strength will be further enhanced.

The Pelicans are also one of the teams targeting the buyout market.

When trading Williams, they sent out Deron and Joe Harris, and now there are only 14 people on the roster.

Although it is completely enough, it is prepared for any eventuality. A team that does not compete for the championship will not enter the playoffs at full capacity.

Before the deadline came, Demps also visited Tang Tian at the manor just like usual.

Although the 15th person is irrelevant, the trading market has passed, and this is the last opportunity to strengthen. The 15th person signed at this time may be very useful.

"Ross and Wade, I think signing one of them will help us a lot, and we are more attractive than the Rockets."

Demps's idea is similar to Morey, two former superstars, although their strength has declined, the lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Tang Tian nodded.

The Pelicans' current back line, Brogdon, Stephenson, Williams, are completely enough, and even more surplus.

If it weren't for Brogdon being a rookie, the Pelicans would even consider buying out Stephenson to reduce their spending.

Signing another defender seems redundant and can damage the chemistry.

But Wade is different from Ross. This veteran who still has oil in the fuel tank is super big and has rich playoff experience.

And one thing to consider is that after the penalty scale changes, the intensity of the playoffs will become higher than in the past.

At that time, the Pelicans' substitute guards now may not be able to score, and Ross and Wade's personal offensive abilities were obviously higher.

Even if you take a step back and sign it doesn’t work, it’s just a one-year contract.

So Tang Tian did not object to Demps' proposal.

"But we have to think about one thing, if neither of them is bought out, who do we need to sign."

When Tang Tian was the head coach in his previous life, he served as the general manager for many years, and his considerations were more meticulous and comprehensive.

Ross and Wade are just rumored now and may not be bought out.

Especially Wade, Riley left him to sell tickets, but now Wade wants to buy it out, he may not be able to follow his wishes.

Demps nodded, it really requires preparation in advance.

Otherwise, if they missed the buyout market and wanted to sign the 15th person again, they would have to go to the current free market to sign people.

It’s time to this point, no one wants the rest of the free market, so the players signed are really the number of players.

"What do you think of Boris Dior?"

Demps gave a suggestion.

Dior was a teammate with Tang Tian when he was with the Spurs, and the last time the Pelicans and Jazz played hard to distinguish, Dior performed well.

Tang Tian also agreed.

Dior is now a swing player at the fourth and fifth position, especially at the fifth position.

Jokic has been unable to find his form for a long time. As a veteran, Dior can give him some advice and also increase his playoff experience in the No. 5 position.

At 0:00 on March 1, the buyout deadline arrived as promised.

However, the buyout market is very different from the previous rumors and many people's predictions.

The Heat ultimately did not accept Wade's buyout request and continued to keep him on the team.

Riley's idea was the same as Tang Tian guessed. The team had missed the playoffs, so of course he would leave Wade to sell tickets.

The Wizards did not buy out Ross in the end.

Because Ross and Adidas signed a 14-year contract, for personal influence, the latter did not want to be bought out, so he did not make concessions in terms of the amount of the buyout.

This also led to the Wizards' ultimate choice to keep him in the team. After all, the team is trying to save money to buy out. It is better to keep selling tickets than to force a buy out.

Ross, Wade, the two players with the most rumors and strongest strength did not buy out in the end.

The Rockets are the one who hurt the most this time.

Morey made plans and finally lost his life.

Just as Morey was about to turn the gun and aim at other buyout players.

Woj soon announced the news that after Dior was bought out by the Jazz, the Pelicans quickly reached a one-year basic salary contract with him.

This time, Morey felt even more uncomfortable. There were not many players who could leave him to sign.

In the end, there was no choice but to sign Deron and Troy Williams.
Chapter completed!
